Chapter 41: Investigation
"Really? I fell asleep."

Lu Zhizhi rubbed his face, not believing it, "I think I just asked you for help. There is a murderer downstairs."

"That phone call was an hour ago, and I spent some time on the way back."

Bai Ji put the fruit on the table in the living room, turned around and came to her side, raised his hand and touched her forehead, "Are you okay? Are you still sick?"

"I do not know."

Lu Zhizhi was confused, "Maybe it's because I didn't take medicine."

She poured a glass of water, took out the pills and swallowed them, not noticing Bai Ji's pitiful and complicated eyes.

"However," he said hesitantly, "Someone did come in and out of the apartment building. There was a lot of blood in the elevator bridge box."

Lu Zhizhi's hand froze, "Really? Did the murderer do it?"

Bai Ji shook his head, "I don't know, but I have already called the police."

He took an apple from the fruit bag, went to the kitchen, sliced ​​it and put it in front of her, "Eat some."

Lu Zhizhi sat down on the sofa, a little unable to understand what he had seen before and the current situation where it seemed like nothing happened.

At first she thought it was the masked woman, but no, it was the masked man who finally asked her for payment, and it was at the cost of human life.

But nothing happened in the end, her head was still on her neck, and there was no scratch on her body.

Then whose blood in the bridge box Bai Ji mentioned belongs to?
If he wasn't here to kill her, then who was he here to kill?The entire apartment has been vacated.

The apple in his mouth was crisp and sweet, and he ate several pieces without realizing it. Lu Zhizhi suddenly asked: "When you came up, the elevator didn't stop on the third floor. Didn't you meet anyone?"

Bai Ji: "I didn't stop on the third floor."

"That's it"

Lu Zhizhi couldn't think of the reason why the masked woman came to the apartment in the middle of the night to threaten her.

Is it just because it's Halloween?
She thought nonsensically.

Half an hour later, three police cars drove into the open space of the townhouse apartment one after another. The leader, Shi Yu, had just finished handling Liang Lei's car accident case and had just taken a bite of hot pancakes.

Looking at the familiar apartment building, Officer Yang sighed, "Here it is again, everything seems to revolve around here."

Several police officers stepped forward and pressed the elevator button.

Half a minute later, the elevator reached the first floor and opened. The strong smell of blood instantly made the first few people turn around and vomit.

The entire bridge compartment was filled with traces of blood spray.

Shi Yu ate the last few bites of pancakes without changing his expression, "Go up the stairs and have a look. I'll leave someone here to take samples."

The light of the flashlight illuminated the escape passage, and all the way up to the third floor, a humanoid doll stood on the platform, startling several people.

Shi Yu grabbed it and took a look and found that it was a certain funny doll with a photo of Aunt Hu who had just died on its face.

The following police officer: "Who is here to do a Halloween prank?"

open the door.

The long corridor was full of broken limbs, broken arms and heads, like an Asura hell.

Officer Yang immediately covered his mouth and retched, "There must be more than one person dead this time."

Shi Yu remained silent, not going upstairs to find Lu Zhizhi first, "Check first."

"Team Yang, found a computer and some related camera equipment next to the body." a police officer said.

Officer Yang patted Shi Yu on the shoulder and walked over quickly.08:30 in the morning.

Lu Zhizhi was woken up by a phone call from Teacher Yi.

She didn't sleep well last night because the police were handling the case downstairs, and she was frightened. She asked for leave from school and planned to rest at home for the day.

She answered the phone in a daze, "Hello?"

Teacher Yi heard her voice and breathed a sigh of relief, "Lu Zhizhi, you really scared me to death. I thought you were dead."

"what?"

Lu Zhizhi opened his eyes in confusion and sat up with his arms on the mattress, "What did you say?"

Teacher Yi: "Yesterday, an anchor was broadcasting live in your apartment. A camera was installed in the house below you, which happened to capture you being chased by the masked woman."

Her tone went from false alarm to indignant, "Nowadays, these young people who have not learned how to be Internet celebrity anchors have increasingly no limits. Teacher Lu, you must have been made a bad joke last night, right? This is all Who are you, you are not in good spirits and you come here to pretend to be such a scary thing to scare you."

All Lu Zhizhi's confusion and curiosity last night suddenly became clear in half of Teacher Yi's chatter today.

So, when she met the mask girl yesterday, she was basically fooled.

The group of young people made a very nasty joke on her.

"I was literally scared out of my mind."

Lu Zhizhi threw himself on the bed and stared at the sculpting hand on the desk next to him with a heavy gaze, "So my ugly appearance was broadcast across the country and I became famous as an urban legend, right?"

Teacher Yi said tactfully: "It's already on the hot search. After all, Beijing has never caught a woman wearing a mask. Now she appears in an Internet celebrity live broadcast room. You know, it's like a celebrity effect, bringing you out too." name."

Lu Zhizhi sighed.

Teacher Yi comforted her: "Don't worry, this kind of thing that endangers social stability will be deleted within a morning. Just be fine."

"Well, thank you for your concern."

Lu Zhizhi sat up and hung up the phone. His mind was free to find his thoughts, and he vaguely understood whose blood in the bridge box belonged to him.

In order to test her idea, she put on her coat, washed up, opened the door and prepared to go downstairs to take a look.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yu arrived at the right time. There were several police officers behind him, and everyone looked tired after staying up late.

"Can we talk?" Shi Yu's voice was hoarse and he handed her the breakfast bag he bought.

Lu Zhizhi was used to being investigated every now and then, so he nodded obediently and let people in.

Shi Yu said: "Last night, five people started a live broadcast and came to the apartment to explore. They hired an extra postman who delivered newspapers to act as the masked woman."

Lu Zhizhi opened the soy milk and took a few sips, then lowered his eyes to follow his words, "I just found out, it was to scare me to gain traffic and make money."

"Yes." Shi Yu pursed his lips, "Do you remember what happened after he waved the sickle at you last night?"

Lu Zhizhi's hand that went to pick up the buns paused and then dropped it.

what happened?
Bai Ji said that when he came back, he saw her door open and her sleeping quietly on the sofa.

But in fact, she only remembered the last scene of the fake masked woman waving a sickle at her. How she got home, she had no memory at all.

Lu Zhizhi said: "I seemed to have fainted. I don't know what they did to me in the end, but when I woke up, I was lying on the sofa at home alone."

Shi Yu said calmly: "Lu Zhizhi, you have no interaction with those anchors, right?"

Lu Zhizhi wrinkled his forehead and looked at him, "I didn't."
